Shown on the right is the cross-section of an infinitely long cable extending in the z-direction that has a radius R and uniform current density j (current per cross-sectional area) that flows in the negative z-direction, but with a portion of it being carved out. The carved-out portion forms an infinitely long cylindrical hollow whose radius is R/2 as shown in the figure. (a) Find the magnetic field, both magnitude and direction, at point A. R B (b) Find the magnetic field, both magnitude and direction, at point B.

A long, straight, cylindrical conductor contains a cylindrical cavity whose axis is displaced by n from the axis of the conductor, as shown in the accompanying figure. The current density in the conductor is given by J=J0k, where J0 is a constant and k is along the axis of the conductor. Calculate the magnetic field at an arbitrary point P in the cavity by superimposing the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R1and current density Jonto the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R2and current density J .
